Responses of permafrost to climate change and their environmental significance, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
[1] In this paper we summarize recent research in geocryological studies carried out on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that show responses of permafrost to climate change and their environmental implications. Long-term temperature measurements indicate that the lower altitudinal limit of permafrost has moved up by 25 m in the north during the last 30 years and between 50 and 80 m in the south over t...
متن کاملDesertification and its relationship with permafrost degradation in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) plateau
Desertification in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau is part of Chinese desertification. In the past decades, due to the climate warming, the climate condition in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau has been relatively dry. This has resulted in permafrost degradation and other environmental problems. In addition, the vegetation and the soil layer were also destroyed by unreasonable economic activities....
متن کاملResearch on the Information Extraction of Periglacial Geomorphology in Qinghai-tibet Plateau
Takes Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a research field, this paper based on the models and algorithms, completes the numerical information extraction of periglacial geomorphology distribution by using SRTM-DEM and annual mean temperature data. Based on the extracted results and remote sensing images, the periglacial geomorphology distribution in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is achieved by visual interpretati...
متن کاملPermafrost Presence/Absence Mapping of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Based on Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is known as the Third Polar of the earth and the Water Tower of Asia, with more than 70% of the area on the QTP is covered by permafrost possibly. An accurate permafrost distribution map based on valid and available methods is indispensable for the local environment evaluation and engineering constructions planning. Most of the previous permafrost maps have emplo...
متن کاملResponses of Permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, to Climate Change and Engineering Construction
Monitoring of permafrost along the Qinghai-Tibet (Xizang) Highway shows that there is a large difference in the response of permafrost to climate change and to engineering construction. The change in cold (,21.5uC) permafrost is greater than that in warm ($21.5uC) permafrost under the effect of climate change, while the cold permafrost is less sensitive to the disturbances from engineering acti...
